Doggy Day Care Harborough

About: Growing up with Corgis, I’ve always been hands-on with training, walking, and snuggling. I’ve watched them grow from puppies into seniors, so I understand the unique needs at every life stage. I can’t imagine my life without them, and I’d love to give your pet the same level of care and attention! Since I’m currently in-between jobs, pet care is my full focus right now. I have a flexible schedule and can give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day, whether that’s walks, playtime or just hanging out :) At my place, your pet will enjoy a bright, airy living room and a cosy upstairs terrace to explore. I live in a flat, but I’m always keen to get outside, so your pet will get plenty of walks, playtime, and fresh air.

About: My wife and I both grew up with dogs and have always had them in our lives, so looking after them just feels natural to us. We both work from home, which means there's always someone around for company, cuddles and keeping an eye on things throughout the day. We have a friendly Goldador called Ripley who loves other dogs, so your dog will have a sociable playmate if they enjoy company. At lunchtime, we usually head straight out from our house onto the local fields and footpaths, giving plenty of space to explore, sniff around and burn off some energy. We're also big on keeping dogs mentally stimulated. Ripley has a ridiculous number of puzzle toys and enrichment games, and we're happy for visiting dogs to join in if it's something they'd enjoy. More than anything, we just want dogs staying with us to feel relaxed, have fun and be treated like part of the family while you're away Since we both work from home, your dog will have company all day. We take a proper lunch break walk, usually through the nearby fields. The rest of the day is a mix of play, puzzle toys, and cuddles, just a calm, happy routine that fits around yours. Ripley loves having doggy friends, so if your dog enjoys company, they'll have a built-in playmate. And of course, we always supervise Your dog's safety and comfort are our priority. We have a secure fenced garden for outdoor time. We're happy to follow your dog's normal routine and any training cues you've got. Walks can be on or off lead, but only with your consent and if we're confident it's safe. Ripley is friendly and sociable, and we always supervise introductions to make sure everyone is happy

“Karen was absolutely brilliant with Milo, and he had the best time (now snoozing away in his bed). She sent lots of pictures to assure me he was fine, which I really appreciated considering it’s the first time I’ve left him all day. It looks like Milo and Karen’s lovely pup Millie had an absolute blast while I was at work, and Milo can’t wait for his next visit. Thanks so much Karen.”

“Laura looked after our very bouncy 15 month old rescue Lurcher, unfortunately he was a tad boystrious with her dogs so had to be separated after a while, he seem to have a lovely time running in and out the garden and making carrot mess and was pretty exhausted once he got home, would definitely recommend”

About: I have had dogs since I was 5 years old - a variety of breeds. I offer a home from home service and try to keep to your dogs normal routines. I have 2 dogs of my own - a Golden Retriever and a Cockapoo - both have exceptional temperaments and are very used to other dogs visiting. I currently work part time from home on Monday to Weds lunch time hence my available times showing as Thursday to Sunday although the beginning of the week isn’t totally out of the question.

About: I have always had a huge passion for dogs and have been lucky enough to share my life with a variety of breeds, from Cockapoos to American Akitas. With 10 years of hands-on experience, I understand that every dog is unique and has their own personality, needs and routines. I am also a qualified canine behaviourist and trainer, with extensive experience in hands-on training both on and off the lead. I’m confident caring for dogs of different ages, temperaments and energy levels, and I always aim to make sure they feel safe, happy and comfortable in my care. My favourite days are the ones spent with dogs — whether that’s going on long walks, practising training, playing, or simply giving them plenty of love and attention. Your dog’s wellbeing is my priority, and I’ll treat them as one of my own! My entire full-time work schedule fits around your dog! - I make time for 1-1 walks, group walks, long/short walks for little & long legs. - I make time for the elderly, owner or pet! - I make time for scheduled behaviour training. - My spare time involves having some of the furry’s over-night during owners holidays. I have a fully fenced garden and plenty of safe walking routes nearby. I live out in the countryside, surrounded by lovely places to explore. My home is completely pet-safe, and dogs are welcome to relax and feel at home here.

About: ​Since the age of 10, my life has been dedicated to animals. Growing up on a farm in Portugal, I was surrounded by the heartbreaking reality of stray animals, which sparked a lifelong mission to help. I couldn't turn a blind eye; I brought home every animal in need—from dogs and cats to injured birds. ​Eventually, after endless ignored "no more animals after this one" pleas, my parents finally accepted their fate and helped me build dedicated kennels on our farm. Together with the local community, we provided food, medical care, and a safe haven for these animals until we could find them their forever homes. Through these 17 years of rescue work, I didn't just provide care; I studied animal behavior deeply, learning how to communicate with and comfort dogs of all temperaments. ​Currently, I am the proud parent of two dogs—a Husky and a rescue Collie/Lab—who are my entire world. I know how difficult it is to leave your fur-babies behind, which is why I treat every guest like a member of my own family. ​When your dog is with me, they can expect: * 🌟 Endless Love & Cuddles: No shortage of affection and sofa time. ​🌟 Active Adventures: Frequent walks and play tailored to their energy levels. ​🌟 Paddock Time: I live 10 minutes away from a secure paddock where I take my dogs all the time; I'm happy to take yours for a run there too! ​🌟 A "Spoilt" Experience: I promise to love and spoil your pups just as much as I do my own. ​I truly miss the feeling of being surrounded by "fur" and making a difference in an animal's life. I can’t wait to meet your best friend and give them a home-away-from-home experience! I'm currently studying full time from home so your fur baby will never be alone. Walks 3x a day - morning after and evening I go paddocks often especially in good weather and I am happy to take yours along. ​I offer a safe, loving environment with a fully fenced-in garden for secure playtime. My two friendly dogs provide great company, ensuring your pet never feels lonely. I am experienced with crate training if needed for sleeping or quiet time. Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize a consistent routine, plenty of supervised exercise, and constant attention to keep your fur baby happy and secure.

About: As a dedicated pet owner to two dogs and a cat, I have hands-on experience providing attentive and loving care. I’m flexible, dependable, and confident handling a wide range of animals (with the exception of spiders!). My priority is making sure your pets feel secure, comfortable, and cared for—just as they would at home—so you can have complete peace of mind. I am now medically retired so I can completely focus my time on the animals and their needs, so any routine that they require will not be broken, and I am highly flexible also. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved at all times. I follow each owner’s routine closely and provide lots of care, attention, playtime and supervision

About: I have always cared for pets at my home from dogs to cats, stick insects to gerbils, you name it! And my passion for animal care led me to completing my BSc Animal Science (Pet Behaviour and Welfare) degree at university for four years. I have the practical and theory skills to handle all kinds of pet care, including veterinary work and husbandry experience. My pet behaviour pathway at university gave me the opportunity to work for a pet behaviour clinic for a year specialising in dog behaviour and training, so I know the patience and love required to care for and train the most anxious pets. It can take time to build trust and my policy is always to do so with a gentle hand and maybe a treat or two! I'm currently working part time so have a flexible schedule for your pets' care including weekend stays, day visits, walks, feeding and more. I’m happy to stay for longer/ overnight visits so you don’t have to worry for your pets while you’re on holiday. I'm very happy to take instructions from you on what care you believe your pets require or anything you wish to request of me during my time with them. Whether this means using crates or not, treats, outdoor time...etc.

About: I grew up around dogs so they have always been a large part of my life. Along with my own, I often care for friends+family’s pets. I have experience with dogs of all ages - towards the end of his life, my senior dog was unable to use his back legs so he required special care and attention. Due to this, he also became incontinent so I am especially skilled with senior care. However, I am currently the owner of a pug puppy and so, I am perfectly capable of keeping up with the demands of an active puppy as well! As I am currently available all the time, he has my undivided attention, as will your dog also! I am available all the time which means constant love and care for your dog and plenty of playtime! I can also provide walks as often as needed. I have a large fenced garden which is perfect for playtime! I also have a friendly pug puppy who loves to play with other dogs and will be more than happy to share his toys & treats! There is plenty of space for your dog to run around, and also relax when it’s time to wind down. I have an aircon unit in my living room which has been very helpful in cooling the house down, especially during the high temperatures we’ve been having. I can also accommodate to any specific needs!
